“We have already received some wonderful nominations from a diverse array of sectors and look forward to another exciting voting process in the new year," said Cathy Laporte, group marketing manager, in-cosmetics at Reed Exhibitions. "Anyone who has yet to make a nomination still has time to do so, with entries accepted until December 31, 2012.”

The first Lifetime Achievement Award was held in 2010 to commemorate the in-cosmetics’s 20th anniversary. With entries submitted from around the globe and thousands of votes cast, Dr. Alain Khaiat was selected out of the 61 nominations.

Online nominations are open through the in-cosmetics website. The winner will be announced at an awards ceremony at in-cosmetics in Paris on April 16, 2013.
